------------------------------+--------------------
 Recently, our automated end-to-end (E2E) tests have been failing
 inconsistently due to a Navigation Timeout error:

 {{{
 TimeoutError: Navigation timeout of 30000 ms exceeded
 }}}

 You can see an example of this type of error in
 [https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/actions/runs/5336413491/jobs/9671067651 a recent run of the
 workflow against on a PR to update the About Page], which should not have
 any affect on E2E tests.

 The full list of runs where you can see this happening inconsistently, but
 frequently, is here: https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/actions/workflows/end-to-end-tests.yml

 Often rerunning these failing jobs fixes the issue, but we should
 investigate why this is happening and try to reduce the frequency if
 possible since it leads to a poor experience and unnecessary overhead to
 rerun these failing jobs.
